On Those Worthy of Honor and Salutation
पर्याये तात कम्मिंश्रिद् ब्राह्मण्यमिह विन्दति । ब्राह्मण जो-जो जिस प्रकार करना चाहता है
śakra uvāca | paryāye tāta kasmiṃś cid brāhmaṇyam iha vindati | tāta jīvaḥ asya jagataḥ antar anekāsu yoniṣu bhraman bāhulyena janma labhate | evaṃ janma-janmāntareṣu kadācit sa brāhmaṇatvaṃ prāpnoti |
Dijo Śakra: “Con el paso del tiempo, hijo querido, un ser en este mundo alcanza la condición de brahmán en algún giro del destino. Vagando por el mundo a través de muchos vientres y formas de nacimiento, el ser encarnado nace una y otra vez. Así, tras repetidos nacimientos, en algún momento llega a obtener el estado de brahmán.”

Educational Q&A
Brahminhood is presented as something attained in due course through the long wandering of the jīva across many births—implying a moral-spiritual maturation shaped by karma and discipline rather than a merely accidental or momentary condition.
Indra (Śakra) is instructing a listener addressed as “tāta,” explaining how beings transmigrate through many forms and, at some point in that sequence of births, may attain the status of a brāhmaṇa.
